Lisa and Maria's Video Blog -- Healthy Eating and Juicing

This is the first bilingual video from many that my partner, Lisa, and I will start sharing about healthy eating and juicing ... and of course I will share many of my simple beauty secrets. Many people have asked me about some of my health and beauty regimens. I am going to share one of them with you here in this video blog (many more to come ).

Please keep in mind that I am not a healthcare provider, so please discuss all complementary therapies with your provider. As I say in the video, this is not a cure of any type ... just different recipes that my partner and Lisa know and were taught by our mothers and our own research. I will do a series of them and I hope everyone can learn and enjoy the delicious juices that are so so good for our health. I really believe that we are what we eat. Do not forget to take your medicine, too, and if you like, combine these delicious juices made of fruits and vegetables.

I have always been asked how I keep myself looking young and fit and I rarely get sick. Also, many people ask me about my skin and hair ... .so now I will let you in what I do and what I take.

I am a 37-year-old Colombian female who lives in Miami, Florida. I've been positive for 20 years. Although almost all my life I've been in long-term relationships with HIV-negative men, I am happily married to a woman who is wonderful and caring. We have been together almost three years and she is HIV negative. I have no children but we will look into having! I am an activist, a peer educator, a caregiver. I volunteered for the Red Cross in education for the Hispanic HIV community and also the American community. I was a pre- and post-test counselor. I have spoken in many conferences and done a lot of outreach in the community, especially in the schools for prevention and education. It is part of my everyday life to educate everyone I can on this subject. Being HIV positive is nothing to be ashamed about! We are strong women, and we will take away all the stigmas slowly but we have to open up.
